• Support development, maintenance, and execution of Functional Test Procedures (FTPs) and other engineering/manufacturing test documentation
• Support manufacturing test troubleshooting and transition of engineering test solutions into production
• Support integration, verification & validation (IV&V), qualification, and other formal engineering test activities
• Develop proficiency with LabVIEW, Python, or similar tools to support basic test automation, instrument control, data collection, and engineering utilities
• Maintain lab equipment, configurations, documentation, calibration status, and general lab readiness
• Provide hands-on feedback to engineers regarding hardware, testability, fixtures, assembly, and lab execution
• Mentor less experienced technicians and contribute to continuous improvement, standardization, and reuse of engineering test capabilities

Requirements

• Associate degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering Technology, Engineering Technology, or related technical field (or equivalent combination of education and experience)
• 6+ years of hands-on electronics, engineering labs, integration, manufacturing test, or automated test experience
• Strong troubleshooting skills with electronic hardware, instrumentation, cables, fixtures, and lab setups
• Experience with electronic test equipment such as oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, power supplies, signal generators, spectrum analyzers, or network analyzers
• Ability to read and interpret schematics, engineering drawings, wiring diagrams, test procedures, and technical documentation
• Experience assembling, modifying, repairing, or troubleshooting electronic hardware, cables, harnesses, and/or test fixtures
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with multidisciplinary engineering teams
• Strong technical documentation, organization, and communication skills
• U.S. Citizenship required; this position requires an active DOD security clearance or the ability to obtain such clearance within a reasonable time after commencement of employment
